Acid Mothers Temple

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

After performing with such bands as Toho Sara, Ohkami No Jikan, Musica Transonic, and Mainliner, Japanese guitarist Makoto Kawabata decided to continue his musical explorations by bringing together likeminded individuals to create trippy psychedelic freak-outs inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Krautrock, and '70s progressive hard rock. Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. (Underground Freak Out) was founded in 1996 as a "soul collective." It's not a commune in the full sense since the members don't all live together, but it is based o...[more]

 

 

This release is an incredible 4 cd set, with 4 tracks spanning the 4 discs and clocking in at over 4 hours of lsd fried cosmic insanity. The music is a varied selection of amts many different styles - long 'freak-out' jams/acid dazed tunes/free improvised craziness - it's all here.

This particular studio release came described as one of the band's heaviest efforts yet, recorded by the compact five-person lineup of 2002 in May of that year. Lead guitar maniacs Makoto Kawabata and Hiroshi Higashi, bassist Atsushi Tsuyama, drummer Hajime Koizumi, and singer/keyboardist Cotton Casino incarnate Acid Mothers Temple on this one, and the result is, unsurprisingly, mayhem. Given all of the various releases and spin-off efforts in existence, to be sure, selecting this one as a particular winner   [ read more ]

Originally sold only at gigs, Born To Be Wild In the USA was recorded during the 2000 tour at Graceland (Seattle), the Fireside Bowl (Chicago), and the Up Stage (Philadelphia). It's a full on AMT performance that lasts only a little over 40 minutes, but punters get their money's worth in spades. It's an assemblage of mostly of well-known Acid Mothers Temple jams save for "Acid Tokion 2000," that opens the set. Kawabata Makoto, and company let it rip here, allowing the full-on intensity of the band to come o   [ read more ]

Important, the Newburyport, MA label that issued this 2007 release by Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O., claims that this is a "very clean sounding" AMT release. They're right; it is. In fact, it may be the best-produced recording by the prolific ensemble in its long history. Fans of the unit have grown used to the speaker-bleeding distortion and bust-out volumes, which have often led to hearing less differentiation on their recordings than is desirable -- even to them. Yet the clean   [ read more ]
